Well, yes.

If you install windows on the SATA drive it will be C..

Then your older IDE drive will show up as D with all your data


Unless you partition your sata drive..

It is large..

Too large to devote entirely to Windows.....

Just leave the part you don't want to use..

Install Ubuntu later..



Good luck

Let me know if you have more problems..
